Higher Lexiled Books for Younger Readers

originally posted on My Big Campus February 1, 2013

A variation of the Lexile theme:

We have many younger students whose Lexiles are high - yay!  However, it is very difficult to find higher Lexiled books (especially fiction) without mature themes or that don't require extensive background knowledge that would make them accessible to the young reader. 

So, I did a quick bit of research for the cause.

I found this great list:

and this is an interesting "generated" list:

This one includes for MS too, so it might have some books with more mature themes:
